we check the

Café Europa, Zollergasse, Vienna, Austria

Where we are:
Nearby the main shopping street (the Mariahilferstrasse) in Vienna, the Zollergasse and other sidestreets retain some nice shops and bars. One of them is Europa, a popular place for twens and students.

What you get:
Europa is a smoker's place - after five minutes your clothes are soaked with smoke. It can be loud, it can be very crowded, and you could probably wait for your order longer than you usually do. But it has atmosphere, something unique, an intersting public and has food also after midnight.
I tried the Wiener Schnitzel, a typical Austrian meat, and I was quite happy due to the size and my big hungry stomach. A friend went for a Gluehwein, another for a regular white wine. Both acceptable and not overpriced. I paid 7,60 Euro for the Schnitzel, and that's ok (Salad was included).



Rating: Now at the next level of customer care, I entered the restroom. Puh! Dark is too bright to tell, and the smell was one of the fierce mode. When the guy pissing right next to me smoked the full length of his cigarette without touching it, then I said that's a special restroom culture they have right there. Could be a lot better, but it's special, somehow. Try it at 2 of 5 smoky toilets!
